Cinnamon Bark Extract

Cinnamon Bark Extract is taken from the dried bark of cultivated trees and is considered to be of much higher quality than extract derived from leaves. It contains an essential oil that is not only recognized for its soothing effects, but is also known to have antibacterial properties.

Glycolic Acid

Glycolic Acid is one of the naturally occurring fruit acids derived from sugar cane. It helps slough off the dry, rough uppermost layer, leaving skin looking smoother and healthier.

How to Apply:
- Cleanse the skin thoroughly before applying medication
- Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer one to three times daily
- Because excessive drying of the skin may occur, start with one application daily, then gradually increase to two or three times daily if needed or as directed by a doctor
- If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once every day or every other day

Cool Kiehl’s Fact:
When our chemists developed Kiehl’s iconic Blue Astringent Herbal Lotion in 1964, its popularity took off almost from the start. Over forty years later, we attribute its appeal not only to its superior quality, but also its versatility. Kiehl’s male patrons tell us they use it as a post-shave treatment to soothe skin and prevent razor discomfort. Legend has it that Andy Warhol was a fan!

Rated 2 out of 5 feel tingly
I don't think this product works on me. I feel my skin tingly but see no effects. I don't have sensitive skin but my skin is a little dry and I have cystic acne. This might work on normal acne. Sorry not cystic acne and acne scar

I tried this product for the first time yesterday and I love it within one night all of my acne blemishes were gone. Best product ever.

Rated 4 out of 5 by lindzlea Works well!
I purchased this gel when I was desperate to clear up my "out of nowhere" deep pimples. While it's not a miracle, it clears up blemishes within a few days and my favorite part is that it does not cause over-drying like so many other products. It does sting when applied, but goes away in a few minutes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MrsFox My daughter is hooked
I bought this just to try out. My teen daughter had a breakout on her nose and forehead area, which has been the norm for the past year or so. I handed her the tube when it came and showed her how to use it. Well, after using it only once a day for 5-6 days her face is clear. Every day, all day, my daughter talks about this stuff. She says her face has never looked or felt better. I think I've created another Kiehls monster in the house.

This is a great zit spot treatment. it's clear, it doesn't dry out your skin, and the traditional blue herbal scent adds to make your feel like it works and it really does.

Rated 1 out of 5 by sassigrass Didn't work
I really needed a spot treatment and after diligently using this (and yes, correctly) it really did nothing. Waste of money and really bummed since I was hoping for a good solution

Rated 5 out of 5 by klakitties Seriously, It WORKS!
I have combination dry/oily skin, and I am still prone to breakouts around my chin at 30. I'd pretty much swore off/given up on zit cream - it never works, makes my skin dry and red, and gets flakey. I also have some scarring around my chin from previous breakouts that I thought I'd just have to live with.
I picked this up on my way home from work a few weeks back and dabbed it on my breakout, as well as the scars from my past breakouts, before I went to bed. I woke up and the pimples were nearly completely flattened and not red at all. There were still "bumps" there if I felt with my finger, but this stuff makes them completely unnoticeable. Also, the scarring on my chin has reduced significantly in only a few weeks of using daily.
Texture is a little sticky, but that being said, i'd rather it be sticky and work, than cakey and flake off. This goes on and stays on, and works. Just can't really wear makeup over it, or it over makeup. I will continue using this until (hopefully) one day my breakouts actually stop!
